Fructose

right i've searched for ages to try and find the answer to this and i can't seem to find it anywhere.
Ok.. for fructose to be used in respiration (anaerobic) it first has to be converted to fructose-6-phosphate.

How is fructose converted to fructose-6-phosphate to be used in glycolysis?!

like glucose is converted to fructose-6-phosphate 1st by isomerization of a phosphate group from ATP to produce glucose-6-phosphate. The g6P is then isomerized to make fructose-6-phosphate.

I'm really stuck, can anyone help?!

This is for glycolysis in humans, so it'd be the same in yeast wouldn't it?
